Living Out Loud
1998
A touching drama about a relationship that forms between a recently divorced nurse (Hunter) and her building's elevator operator (Devito). Queen Latifah sparks the film every time she makes an appearance. Good, solid filmmaking that relies on characters and dialogue, not special effects, to make its impact. Read more

Screenwriter Richard LaGravenese's directorial debut is a bittersweet comedy loosely based on two Anton Chekhov stories. Holly Hunter (The Piano) is terrific as the chic Manhattan fortysomething trying to make it on her own after her husband of 15 years leaves her. Ensconced in her deluxe high-rise apartment, she passes the time of day with lift operator Danny DeVito and has imaginary conversations with singer Queen Latifah at a jazz bar. An interesting look at 1990s' relationships and one woman's journey in particular, the film unfortunately loses its power towards the end in favour of a Hollywood-style finale, with all loose ends neatly tied up.

An intelligent romantic comedy without the usual cliche ending. Well worth a watch - if only to see Danny DeVito sing (actually rather well).

- 02 Jan 2008
This is a good chick flick, if you will pardon the possibly derogatory term. What I mean by that: if you were looking for a girls' night out at the pictures, just you and your mates, maybe your mum or your sisters, P.S I Love You has all the requisite ingredients. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll bond. You'll cry some more. All this, and Gerard Butler too! If that is what you're after, by all means rate the movie a ten and add it to your rental queue. Speaking for myself, I'm immune to Mr... Read more
